Here's an interesting note, 6 plays account for 37% of the yards given up this year.

On 65% of run plays this year the defense has held for 4 yards or less.

Other than those six plays above the defense is allowing 3.06 yds per carry.
 
Fun facts:

* take away all Big East teams six worst runs and we are still vying with Temple for dead last in rush defense.
* Miami is 112th in total running defense and yet is 4-1.
* those 1.5 oops/game has helped contribute to a 1-3 start.

The objective is to win games. We aren't doing that. College sports are wacky sometimes with data fun that works pro and con.

Time to win. Needs to start Friday.
 
The big plays are killing us. Need to eliminate those and maintain momentum when we start getting it in games.
